How do Pakistani people celebrate New Year
Pakistan It is an Islamic country. Therefore, New Year is not celebrated there the way it is celebrated in Europe or other countries. Apart from this, many people in Pakistan celebrate the New Year not on January 1 but on the day on which they should celebrate it according to their religion.
